A 54 year old recording of a song composed at least 270 years ago - touching us beyond time and language to the core of our beingness. As Herr Bach put on his manuscripts, "Soli Deo Gloria".
I'm Brazilian. I met this group because my brother bought a vinyl from them when I was 11 years old. today I am 58 years old and I have never forgotten their incredible melodies.
When I was learning Bach in the 60s, my piano teacher recommended these glorious singers. I didn`t own a record player so the only way to hear them was from their occasional TV appearances in England all those years ago. They are so good!
Magnifique chanteuse en effet,aussi talentueuse dans sa discipline que son frère en tant que compositeur. Elle aurait mérité la reconnaissance du grand public,en plus de celle de la profession et des amateurs de jazz vocal. On ne la voyait guère que dans les émissions de son frère par les Carpentiers,à l'époque. Je revoyais le film Galia,avec Mireille Darc,hier soir;qui.emprunta ce morceau comme thème principal.Et,je me suis souvenu de cette magnifique formation,créée par Ward Swingle avec tous ces merveilleux chanteurs et musiciens:Christiane Legrand,Anne Germain,Claudine Meunier,et les autres,tous issus des légendaires Double-Six. Un des rares groupes français reconnus aux Etats-Unis,récompensé par plusieurs Grammy Awards. Et bien oublié aujourd'hui;malheureusement!☹
Наверное, спеть песню со словами проще чем передавать эмоции речитативом, как эта певица. Даже не знаю, как называется такой вид пения. Не каждому дано! Восхищен!
Слушаю в который уже раз, читаю комментарии с переводом на русский язык и понимаю, что все границы между нами - от ума... Для сердца, воспринимающего Красоту, никаких границ не существует... Мы все едины в своем восхищении этим Чудом и благодарности его создателям...) Тысячу раз СПАСИБО!
Елена, спасибо за прекрасный комментарий!Добавлю, что я впервые услышала эту композицию в студенческой курсовой работе Никиты Михалкова.Фильм - короткометражка "Девочка и вещи".1967 года.Мне понравился и фильм и композиция.Просто замечательно!🥰👍👏!
My dad and his friend has the records. I was 7 when i first heard that beautiful records. Struck me forever. Still awwwww me !!!! They were awesome !!!!
Retrouvé 50 ans plus tard mon notre morceau préféré en classe de terminale philo avec mon amie Poucette , cette musique et Ses chanteurs nous ont portées, nous onT fait rêver, nous onT transportées, nous ont aidéES à vivre. Merci à eux groupe "mixte" black and white ... qui plus est ( à souligner). Merci @hensel1jensen #hensel1jensen
I'm Brazilian and I met this group through a short story by horror manga writer Junji Ito, this group is mentioned in the author's note in the short story "old disc"
Cio' mi ricorda di mio papa', che m'insegno' ad amare la musica, e in particolare Bach, il Jazz, gli Swingle Singers e questi pezzi dolci, melanconici, eleganti e struggentemente sottili. Ti sento nell'aria ogni volta che gli ascolto, papa' mio caro adorato, migliore amico, e insegnante notevole per le tue conoscenze quanto per la tua dignitosa modestia. Altri tempi, altre sensibilita', violentate dall'incalzante ritmo cieco e sordo della musica da martello pneumatico.
Isso que voz.Ja conhecia esse grupo.QUANDO encontrei no you tube fiquei muito feliz.Acho que tinha 20 anos ou mais.Nesse momento tenho 69 anos.Nao adianta quem e muito bom e sendo de qualidade exemplo essa musica Nao esquece jamais.Quem aprecia musica de qualidade sabe do que estou falando😊😊❤❤😊😊 .
I've always thought felt that this is one of the three most beautiful vocal performances I've ever heard, and I'm now sorry that I had never thought of looking for it on RUclips until today. The other two are Erbarme Dich from the St. Matthew Passion, and an unknown Indian/Indonesian song that is buried somewhere in the boxes that I haven't unpacked or years. In any event, rankings aside, this is magnificent, and I make no apologies for ranking it with Erbarme Dich.
Their album was the only one I took from my parents when I got married 55 ago.& replaced it 4 times as it wore out or gave them away!

I love the Swingle Singers! I was looking for this music for so many years! I´m glad that I found. I´ve been to Paris and nobody knew them there at the CD stores! What a shame! Il faut connnaitre!
Absolutely adore this group. My dormmates in the 60s were ready to kill me because I played their first album it over and over and over...thanks, Ward.
The siblings are so alike! Good for the handsome brother! I was i love in Christine in the old days. And still love her voice. Makes me shaky! Thanks for sharing. Now I have to pick up the Vinyl in my cellar!
Remember hearing this first in the sixties, played by my arts teacher, have loved the Swingle Singers and Bach ever since. But the title is the F Minor Concerto as is clarified in the subsequent links...
Sav taj jazzz! U ovu vrstu muzike zaljubio sam se jos kao klinac u davnim sesdesetim godinama kada je dzez kao zanr bio na vrhuncu( i naravno,kao klinac obozavao sam Luja Armstronga,a ne neku ofucanu turbo folk pevaljku kao danasnji klinci).I posle toliko godina istog sam misljenja,da je ljudski glas najsjajniji instrument,koje je priroda stvorila.
Surtout, il ne faut pas oublier les paroles! Merci. Très beau. Man kann nicht den Worten vergessen. Die Worte dürfen nicht vergessen werden! Sehr gut! Don!t forget the words! Verry nice.
Thank you so much for putting this up. This is real magic.

I’ve searched so much for this! I’ve listened to this recording at the 80’s and could never forget it. I looked for it at many stores in Paris when I was there and nobody knew anything about this group. Young French people grew up without knowing Les Swingle Singers. What a shame! Thanks a lot for sharing.
Best melodies I can remember when I was a young teen !

I was also 11, when I heard it in Soviet union. Jazz was semi forbidden, but I got it on black market..it saved me..now live in Kalifornia
Lili, sou brasileiro e acabei de conhecer da maneira mais inusitada. Através de um mangá. Calafrios do Junji Itu. O Contro Disco Velho. Que doidera.
@@LivioMMM Eles são demais!!
Sou Br também.
Versão mto boa, mas eu prefiro "céu de santo amaro" do Venturini rs
This is one of the best things I have ever heard.
I agree
Christiane Legrand toujours impressionnante par sa voix et son interprétation de la musique de Bach....
I loved when this song began to play in Beau Is Afraid, never thought I would hear a song like this in an American film from nowdays.
Ari aster
Me toooo
I came here because of Beau Is Afraid
Rlly glad they incorporated this art piece
I knew it was bach but had to check.
Now I'm obsessed with this piece.
I heard this song on the anime Neo Yokio from Ezra Koening in 2017... then again on Beau is afraid
I am here because of Junji Ito.. brilliant!
Красиво! Спасибо за пережитые чувства, выраженные в чудесном голосе! Здесь слова не нужны!
When I was learning Bach in the 60s, my piano teacher recommended these glorious singers. I didn`t own a record player so the only way to hear them was from their occasional TV appearances in England all those years ago. They are so good!
Christiane could sing anything one of the great unsung JAZZ SINGERS of 1960s. RIP
It's awesome how Bach matches the 60th! You're literally feeling the time.
Grande excellence ce groupe vocal ! 🇫🇷👍🌹🇫🇷👍🌹🇫🇷👍🌹🇫🇷 Merci Christiane pour ce moment Bach !

I don't have the words to describe how absolutely beautiful this is.
Woow... The unbelievable beauty.

This seems impossible and yet it came to pass. I am lost in this exceptional beauty!

This brought me so much peace in my troubled teen years... I discovered Bach and the Swingle singers! They blew my mind then...and still do! Bravo!♥️🎶

This piece helped me to get through the moment when our family lost our dearest mother.

La soliste est Christiane Legrand (sœur de Michel Legrand, compositeur, pianiste et chanteur). Sacrée famille !

She's Christiane Legrand , sister of Michel ,the excellent french composer and pianist.
Thanks for the tip.
Sister of French composer Michel Legrand and daughter of Raymond Legrand, a French composer and conductor.
Oui deux prodiges de la musique et de la réinterprétation du grand Bach
Que beleza!
Спасибо за информацию! Не знала, спасибо.👍👍👍👍👍!
I have to listen to that again immediately !
Quelle voix! Quelle EMOTION. For ever.Anne.

Ariosto, my favorite by J S. Bach. Love ❤️ it. Superb.
Гениальная музыка. Гениальное исполнение!
Спасибо! Великолепное исполнение! Браво!
Beau is Afraid
Yep
I was introduced to this by a fabulous teacher Miss Meriel Biggs, at Brooklands Technical College, Weybridge in the mid 60s.
The pizzicato done with the voice! Wonderful
Спасибо что есть Небо..... Бах и такая прелесть слушать вечность
This has long been one of my favorite pieces of recorded music. LeGrand is my favorite singer in the world.
My favorite Swingles. The originals. TYVM.

Gorgeous sound and articulation. The accuracy of these talented musicians is so impressive.
My ALL-TIME FAVORITE from the Swingles...

Vesivi Timeaux,
Yes, but also in all music.
IAunt Vesuvi,
It's my all time favorite from MUSIC. Bach would have loved it.It's better than the original.
She really made that Largo her own torch song. What a heavenly voice!
Pure beauty)
THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL POST ON YOU TUBE j Vincent Edwards
Thought I faintly recognized this. My favorite part of the concerto
A great solo. We all still remember!

Wspomnienia!

Semplicemente e magicamente ,emozionalmente FANTASTICO
Sav taj jazzz! U ovu vrstu muzike zaljubio sam se jos kao klinac u davnim sesdesetim godinama kada je dzez kao zanr bio na vrhuncu( i naravno,kao klinac obozavao sam Luja Armstronga,a ne neku ofucanu turbo folk pevaljku kao danasnji klinci).I posle toliko godina istog sam misljenja,da je ljudski glas najsjajniji instrument,koje je priroda stvorila.
Maravilhosa! Que voz deliciosa, aveludada, pontual ritmicamente e extremamente afinada!
¡Esto si me toca el corazón! ¡Gracias a Dios que existe este video! Una mujer se convierte en la más bella cuando es capaz de hacer algo como esto.
wonderful
WITHOUT WORDS! SIMPLY SUBLIME!
i love it ❤ thanks beau
Nós brasileiros também amamos Swingle Singers e Michel Legrand!
Surtout, il ne faut pas oublier les paroles! Merci. Très beau. Man kann nicht den Worten vergessen. Die Worte dürfen nicht vergessen werden! Sehr gut! Don!t forget the words! Verry nice.
Qué recuerdos maravillosos de infancia tuve el privilegio de que esta extraordinaria propuesta musical fuera parte mi vida.

Thank you so much for putting this up. This is real magic.
I’ve searched so much for this! I’ve listened to this recording at the 80’s and could never forget it. I looked for it at many stores in Paris when I was there and nobody knew anything about this group. Young French people grew up without knowing Les Swingle Singers. What a shame!
Thanks a lot for sharing.
I still have this Long Play!
The girl singing is Christiane Legrand, sister of the famous movie music composer "Michel Legrand". Talented family.
Musique splendide du magnifique film "Galia " avec mireille Darc et Venantino Venantini, de Georges Lautner, 1966.
